Photo Shoot

So we tried taking all 5 grandbabies on my side of the family to get their picture taken. Our appointment was at 10:00, around 11:30 or 12:00 we took at lunch break and returned to view the pictures. The manager met us and said, "I'd like to try to get some better shots, since we didn't get very many the first time." So we tried again, it was more difficult than the first time around. By that time Haven had decided she was done with pictures. We even sank so low to bribe her with a My Little Pony if she would only smile. The babies were tired and Benjamin (my smiler) had been sick and all he wanted to do was sleep! Hannah of course never smiles for a photographer unless she is in an exceptionally good mood and Mama can tickle her. No tickling, singing, or dancing would work! Elam just wanted to run and would only smile if he was running out of the picture! We didn't leave Sears until 2:30! Remember, our appointment was at 10:00!
Hannah would not stay laying down and Elam kept walking way! As you can see Haven doesn't like where she was told to sit!
Gibson, the only happy one
Gibson the only happy one!
No smiles! but all are sitting still for a second! Only because Aunt Christy and the photographer are yelling, jumping up and down and shaking a loud shaker.
Once again, Gibson, the only happy one, but at least we got them all to lay still for a second!

Let this be of some encouragment to you: you have five children in a picture, actually sitting still and my ONE child wouldn't do that for our directory picture!!! The only picture the photographer was able to snap was one of him squirming down off of my lap. I will say, you are a LOT more dedicated that I was. I can't believe you stayed that long, but I think it was worth it. Cute pics!

Too cute. I think it may have been a miracle if you had gotten one of all of them smiling at once. They look adorable in their matching outfits, though, and you can see their little personalities. :-)

They are still too cute. They're kids, they acted right! At Picture People, we couldn't even get three to sit next to each other, lol.
